Pena came into the second with nothing to lose and threw leather with intent. Shayla did not respect her power and paid the price. She tried to stand and bang and got hurt. You can not stand in front of someone throwing hate bombs. Her next seminar should be on that.

They did a good job of building this fight. I usually FF through the drama and just watch the fight. I was actually watching the drama this time. They edited it pretty good showing both girls skills in training as well as their shortcomings. Shaylas arrogance was her undermining. It was displayed in the interviews and was what lost her the fight. Pena went from scared to gaint killer. It was a good look into how fighters deal with prepping for a fight.

Shayla was correct in that she was the better fighter on paper but you have to actually fight the fight.

Ronda as a coach will be interesting to see how she handles losing. This is actually the true test of someone's character in how they deal with adversity. This fight was not much about her coaching the team so I can't wait to see the rest of the season. Oh BTW girls cry when they are mad sad glad or any other mood. I've coached enough females to understand that and it is not a sign of weakness just a way to cope with emotions.
